"What are you daydreaming about? That's enough for today!" Rose Yates knocked herself on the head and instinctively edged away from the burly Ryan Ling. At that moment, she felt her chastity belt tighten, followed by a sharp pain down below.
"Ah!" Rose couldn't help but scream.
"Rose, what's wrong?" Ryan Ling looked at her in surprise, noticing her breaking out in a cold sweat as if she were suddenly ill.
"Rose, is your sword-qi acting up again?" Ryan Ling froze, quickly stepping forward to help channel her qi. But Rose absolutely refused to let him touch her, frantically waving him off.
"No, I'm fine, really!" Rose said, backing away from Ryan Ling again.
Just now, the moment she had a lustful thought, her chastity belt kicked in. She'd made it herself to suppress her own desires, and the more she thought about it, the worse it got. She hurried to calm herself down—no way she could let Ryan Ling touch her right now.
If he touched her now, she'd definitely lose control!
"Alright, if anything comes up, let me know!" Ryan Ling was clearly clueless, turning his head away to think about how to deal with the Mitsui Group. He knew that even though he'd wiped out so many traitors tonight, they were just flunkies—the real big shots were inside Mitsui.
The real mastermind behind the Chen Family crisis was Mitsui Group. Ryan could sense that for Mitsui to be so deeply rooted in the Provincial Capital, there had to be someone extraordinary backing them. From the Shark-Hook Island incident to Mitsui's current expansion, the Azure Dragon Society's shadow was everywhere. Without Azure Dragon's tacit support, Mitsui could never have gotten this powerful!
Tonight, whether for the Chen Family or for all the ordinary people of East River Province, Mitsui Group had to be wiped out—and wiped out for good!
"Sorry, President, something's happened at the Chen Family!" The secretary stammered, clearly nervous—if it wasn't a real emergency, she wouldn't dare barge into a meeting like this.
"What's going on? Spill it!" Chiharu Mitsui snapped, grinding her teeth.
"But with so many people here..." The secretary hesitated, but Chiharu Mitsui cut her off with a bark.
"I said talk! The sky's not falling—just spit it out!"
"Yes!" The secretary paled even more, blurting out, "One-Eye Drake from Heavenly Fiend Alliance is dead, and some top-tier expert just wiped out all seventy-plus men we sent!"
"What? Who? Who could have that kind of power?" A red-faced fat guy jumped up, eyes wide.
"All the so-called experts on the Chen Family’s side are already down—where’d this guy come from? Is he from another city?"
"Nowadays, people are less reliable than a sheet of paper. Who’d stick their neck out for the Chens right now?" someone muttered.
"Forget it—even if he killed One-Eye Drake, or wiped out all of Heavenly Fiend, it’s no big deal. Those guys are trash to us anyway!" another scoffed.
...
All the Mitsui Group managers shot to their feet, jaws dropping.
But right then, another secretary burst in, looking even more freaked out than the first—her face was totally drained of color.
"What now? I already know about the Chen Family. You can go." Chiharu Mitsui shot her a glare.
"It’s not the Chen Family—it’s Tenglong Club!" the secretary blurted.
"Tenglong Club? What happened?" Chiharu Mitsui jumped up—she was supposed to meet David Fang there after this meeting, but now she was stuck here.
"Including David Fang, all 153 people inside and outside—including two Purple-Realm grandmasters—were slaughtered!" The secretary finished, and all the Japanese execs who’d been running their mouths went dead silent.
Two massacres in just a couple hours—who the hell could pull that off?
Even Chiharu Mitsui, usually cool as ice, was stunned for a full half-minute before she snapped out of it. "Who did it? Who the hell did it?"
"It was a Chinese guy named Ryan Ling!" The secretary handed over Ryan’s photo.
"Ryan Ling? You mean the one who wiped out Water-Breaker Sword Sect on Shark-Hook Island and killed two Chiba Shrine onmyoji?" Chiharu Mitsui demanded.
"That’s him! And not just that—he also killed Tiger Hua, North America’s number-one Chinese master. The whole province is buzzing, calling him ‘China’s God’!" The secretary finished, and Chiharu Mitsui exploded with a shout of "Baka!" and tore the photo in half.
"President, just say the word—no matter who he is, we’ll take him down!" piped up a Japanese suit at the edge of the table, bowing respectfully.
The rest of the Japanese staff echoed, bowing to Chiharu Mitsui: "President, just give the order!"
"Good!" Chiharu Mitsui puffed out her chest, glanced around at her subordinates, and sneered, "China’s God? That’s just ignorant Chinese fantasy. Maybe this Ryan Ling kid’s got some skills, but even if he’s strong, he’s just a Purple-Realm grandmaster. No way he’s Void Realm—if he was, he’d be on China’s Earth Ranking. Right now, the only one in East River Province on that list is Azure Dragon’s Dragon-Head Zhao Yinglong. So there’s nothing to worry about. I’ve been plotting this Chen Family wipeout for half a year, and we’re about to succeed. Tonight, we’ll not only wipe out the Chens and Ryan Ling, but also grab that mysterious Dragon Scale. Got it?"
"Understood!" All the Mitsui Group managers nodded.
"Alright, get ready. Chinese trash can’t be relied on. This time, we’re doing it ourselves. When night falls, we’ll go wipe out the Chen Family first." As she spoke, everyone started gearing up. The Japanese staff were pumped—usually they lay low in China, but now they were itching to kill to their heart’s content!
Meanwhile, Chiharu Mitsui was calculating her hand. Not only did she have these subordinates, but Mitsui Group’s highest echelon was hiding two top-tier powerhouses: her father Mitsui Takeo and her mother Chiba Hidemi. For half a year now, Mitsui Takeo’s ignored company business—he and his wife have been in closed-door cultivation, jointly charging for the Void Realm, and they’re about to succeed. That’s why Chiharu wasn’t worried about Ryan Ling at all!
But just then, alarms blared throughout Mitsui HQ. Security guards shouted in the halls: "Enemy attack! We’re under attack! Someone’s forcing open the front gate!"
"What? Ryan Ling actually dares to attack Mitsui Group headquarters? He’s got guts!" Chiharu Mitsui froze, then dashed out...
...
"That’s him! And not only that, he took out Tiger Hua—the number one Chinese master in North America! The whole province is blowing up about it, calling him ‘China’s God’!" The secretary finished, and Chiharu Mitsui suddenly shouted "Baka!" and ripped the photo in half.
"President, just say the word—no matter who comes, we’ll take him down!" said a Japanese suit at the far end, bowing respectfully.
The rest of the Japanese staff quickly bowed to Chiharu Mitsui, shouting, "President, just give the order!"
"Good!" Chiharu Mitsui puffed out her chest, gave her subordinates a cold smirk, and said, "China’s God? That’s just ignorant Chinese delusion. Maybe this Ryan Ling punk’s got some skills, but even if he’s strong, he’s just a Purple-Realm grandmaster—no way he’s Void Realm. If he was, he’d be on the China Earth Ranking. Right now, the only one in East River Province on that list is Azure Dragon’s Dragon-Head Zhao Yinglong. So we don’t need to worry. I’ve been planning this Chen Family wipeout for half a year, and we’re about to succeed. Tonight, we’re not just wiping out the Chens and Ryan Ling—we’re taking that mysterious Dragon Scale too.

"Alright, get ready. Chinese trash can’t be relied on—this time, we’ll do it ourselves. When night falls, we’ll wipe out the Chen Family first." As she spoke, everyone started gearing up. The Japanese staff were fired up—usually they kept things low-key in China, but now they were itching to kill to their heart’s content!
Meanwhile, Chiharu Mitsui was running the numbers. Not only did she have all these subordinates, but Mitsui Group’s highest echelon was hiding two top-tier monsters: her father Mitsui Takeo and her mother Chiba Hidemi. For half a year now, Mitsui Takeo had ignored company business—he and his wife were in closed-door cultivation, jointly charging for the Void Realm, and they were about to break through. That’s why Chiharu wasn’t scared of Ryan Ling at all!
But just then, alarms blared throughout Mitsui HQ. Security guards shouted in the halls: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone’s forcing open the company’s front gate!"
"What? Ryan Ling actually dares to attack Mitsui Group headquarters? He’s got guts!" Chiharu Mitsui froze, then dashed out...
